Tropical Colloquium: "The tropical inverse problem"
Mon, September 21, 2009 11:00AM - 12:00PM

| Location: | Simons Auditorium |
| Speakers: | Diane Maclagan, Dr. Diane Maclagan |
| Abstract: | Not every "tropical curve" (meaning a weighted balanced one-dimensional rational polyhedral complex) is the tropicalization of a curve in the torus, and the tropical inverse problem asks when this is the case. I will discuss variants of this question, and their relevance to birational geometry. |
